Title:
METHOD FOR DETECTING NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE USING SHORT-CHAIN RNA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/090436
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method that enables the detection of the presence or absence of a neurodegenerative disease in a subject more simply and effectively than conventional methods. This method comprises: step (a) for preparing an extracellular vesicle fraction from a body fluid sample of a subject; step (b) for counting the extracellular vesicles contained in the extracellular vesicle fraction obtained in step (a) to obtain the number of extracellular vesicles; step (c) for measuring the total amount of short-chain RNA contained in all extracellular vesicles counted in step (b) to obtain the total amount of short-chain RNA per extracellular vesicle; and step (d) for, when the total amount of short-chain RNA per extracellular vesicle obtained in step (c) is greater than the total amount of short-chain RNA per extracellular vesicle obtained from body fluid samples from healthy subjects, then determining that the subject suffers from a neurodegenerative disease.
